Electric Vehicle Infrastructure

WMU’s electric vehicle charging capabilities are the new standard for campuses nationwide. In February 2012, 15 new electric vehicle charging stations and a 50kW solar photovoltaic array opened near the Miller parking deck. The project was funded through a $700k Department of Energy grant administered by the Clean Energy Coalition, which also offset the cost of five all-electric Ford/Azure Dynamics Transit Connect workvans and a hybrid-hydraulic bucket truck. Dr. Harold Glasser, executive director for campus sustainability, is the grant’s principal investigator.
